The ambience of this place is nice and the server was lovely but the value was really disappointing. The salad was so basic and the potatoes are just like fries and each cost $12. Maybe that's normal these days but it felt like a rip off. I did really enjoy the beef soup. We got the cheese dumplings which were also pretty good. I had the tarragon soda which was unique. I've been here once before and perhaps I just ordered wrong. Also they include the tip and it's easy to miss, so be aware of that too. read more

I was excited to experience Georgian cuisine for my first time, but, should've kept walking past this restaurant ... Upon entering the establishment, I felt overwhelmed and confused by the off putting odor that consumed the interior. We were (somewhat) greeted by the server (possibly the only one working) - followed by escorting my partner and I to a hidden corner table at the back of the restaurant - even though the main room was full of available tables, with only one other family of 3 dining. The service continued to dissipate to the point of questioning if we were being intentionally ignored. After 15-20 minutes, the server approached the table, rushed me through the order without offering suggestions, or interest in our questions towards the menu. Once the orders were placed, I politely asked for water for the table. 10-15 minutes pass, and the server returns with a jug full of warm water, and 2 drinking glasses. We didn't see or hear from the server again, until the orders were brought to the table. By this point, the quality of the food is irrelevant. The negative experience and server, plus the unwelcoming environment was enough to ask for take-out containers only minutes after our order was delivered to the table. Did I mention that only one other table of 3 was dining at the same time? Thankfully, this isn't the only Georgian restaurant in the neighborhood ... read more

I was here for a private function, so I can't comment on a regular visit, but I can say that Georgian food is wonderful! So flavorful. There were dishes for many different kinds of meats - I would recommend the salmon or the lamb dishes (sorry I don't know the names of the dishes - they were served family style and without descriptions). The service was non-stop and flawless. Surroundings were simple, clean and basic, but with the selection and taste of this food, I really didn't care how the space was decorated. If you want to try something a little different, do yourself a favor and try Georgian House. read more

Yes the food is good, but the band... absolutely amazing, I wish I could have stayed for another three hours, I enjoyed every minute of the night. Go when you're not a rush, order the meat kababs and let the band feed your soul... Georgia, you're so beautifu read more

We had Adjaruli Khachapuri and eggplant with nuts. It was very delicious. I highly recommend to everyone to attend that restaurant. The service was a little bit slow but the prices are very low. The over all ambiance is in authentic Georgian style. It was a little bit loud and bathrooms smell bad. But it didn't take away from over all experience. read more

Food is great and ambiance is pretty nice. Service sucks. Waitress doesn't speak English. One of our guests got his main course when others finished eating. Dumplings that we wanted to eat as appetizer arrived after main course. Waitress had an attitude when we tried to explain that we came to eat together and expected dishes to arrive in particular order. Don't even know if I should recommend this place. read more

Great food. Nice ambiance. First time getting Georgian food. Want to go back. Day was nice and mellow.

I've eaten here seven or eight times. Food was always very good and service passable, but the last time, a makeup birthday dinner for my dad who I hadn't seen in a few months, the bread wasn't fresh, the chicken on the cirsivi was stale and hard, the meat dish was wrong, and the server indifferent and inattentive, despite being empty. I gave this feedback. They should have comped this awful meal. They lost a customer forever. read more

Food is fresh and delicious. If you never been in Georgian restaurant I would recommend follow this order: 1. Appetizer: best option - Hachapuri "Adjarski style" (one is good for 4 people), second option - "phali assorty" or "dolma" 2. First dish - one of the soups, classics is "Harcho". Second option is Chihirtma 3. Hinkali - is not an "dumpling appetizer". The eating procedure is following: Holding one Hinkal in hands, bite a small hole and suck a juice from it, eat the whole thing except a top tip (which is holder). All Georgian food perfectly matches with Georgian wine. Enjoy! read more

Have you ever happened to receive a check without ever asking for it, literally in the middle of your meal and without any warning? We, a group of five elderly ladies, did have that shocking experience tonight. I must say it happened for the first time in my life. It was so rude and so unexpected that we didn't even understand at first that a thing handed to us was really a check. When we asked if we could order some coffee they refused saying they were closing, though it was only 9:15 pm and according to the website the place is open daily until midnight. Obviously, they simply didn't want to stay longer because at the moment we were the only customers. In all aspects, customer care is below zero. They never showed up to ask if anything was needed. They never even offered to change the plates. We actually had, after a long wait, to call the waiter who was busy watching stuff on his phone in the empty restaurant and ask for our dirty plates to please be changed. Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience. In fact, such attitude totally nullified the pleasure of the good food. I definitely wouldn't recommend that place if you don't want to feel disappointed and humiliated. read more

Georgia on my mind? Well yes Ray -- with a twist. This is not the land of Jimmy Carter -- but it is that peanut farmer president's 40 year old immigration policies who these Georgians of the Caucuses have to thank -- for a soft Brighton Beach landing and a sturdy foothold for their very authentic Tbilisi-style restaurant. Brighton is, after all, the land of milk and honey for expat Soviets and their gold coast in NYC -- and a more recent influx from central asia and the Caucuses has written yet another chapter into a centuries old melting-pot food history of Brooklyn. As a well traveled expat, sweetie knows Georgian food from her visits there -- when Russia was still a "Union" -- and she was skeptical about the authenticity of everything we ate -- but I am impressed by the contemporary Georgian food culture at GH, it's service and the overall ambiance. For starters -- the room itself is warm -- as in earth-tones with wood everywhere -- which makes it very appealing on the cold and blustery day when we visited. This is also true about the wait staff -- two sturdy young gents who happily answered all of my questions about the variety of food we ate -- and the Georgian wine that we drank with it (Mariani btw - make sure the SKU starts with "86" to be sure its authentic -- said our server). The dry white was crisp but perhaps too dry and lacking in depth and fruit for my tastes. Just about everything in Georgian cuisine relies on ground walnuts, pomegranate and a spice mix known as "khmeli suneli" -- the last being an intoxicating mix of coriander, dill, basil, bay leaf, marjoram, blue fenugreek, parsley, safflower or saffron, black pepper, celery, thyme, hyssop, mint, and hot pepper. This is the Georgian version of Indian curry or garam masala and it made the lamb dishes we ate exotic and redolent with bright flavors. The Georgian salad starter was infused with this spicing and walnuts which turned simply sliced cucumbers, red onions and tomatoes into a home run of flavors and textures. Get this. The Phali is another winning first -- showcasing several versions of ground and spiced walnuts with additions -- like spinach in one, eggplant in another and a third wrapped in steamed cabbage. The shoti served with -- a traditional crusty bread delivered steaming hot -- is just the best vehicle for eating the various walnut spreads and the tastiest bread I've eaten in ages -- so good we took the leftovers home with us. The Chachapuri was decent -- this is basically a tomato-less cheese pizza -- but with Salaguni cheese -- a salty and tart version of mozzarella -- not as stringy and very creamy. Nice. Less to our liking was the Khinkali -- the Georgian take on xiao long bao -- which here is made with beef and pork (Tbilisi style) but which we've had elsewhere with only ground lamb as a filling -- which I prefer. The dough used for these dumplings was thick and rubbery -- and while the filling was decent and spiced authentically -- the overall experience was underwhelming. Somewhat better was the Chanakhi -- a traditional lamb stew with potatoes, tomato's and eggplant -- braised until all the flavors and spicing come together. Very satisfying -- if a bit skimpy on the lamb -- and heavy on the rendered fat -- but great for mopping with the gratis bread. The lulya kebab (Georgian adana) comes wrapped in lavash and is pretty standard Georgian fare -- the filling is well seasoned ground lamb served with roasted potato wedges along with house made satsebeli (tomato) and tkemali (green plum) sauces -- 2 traditional sauces served with this meal. We also ate an excellent chicken kebab that was perfectly moist -- well seasoned with Georgian spices and charred just right. On the food alone -- GH is a 3.5 for me -- I round up to 4 based on the vibe and service. This is not your average mediterranean food and you should not confuse the two -- it is much more sophisticated in flavoring and spicing -- unique really. GH also offers live music on weekends and caters to a mostly local Russian/Georgian crowd said our server -- serving until 3:30 am. If you are up for a cultural immersion foray in Brooklyn -- this is one place to consider. Top Tip: GH was empty for our early dinner -- but I so want to hang out here and drink Georgian wine into the wee hours -- with Georgian music blasting in my ear. I can tell these folks know how to party and with that in mind -- we will be back. tbc read more

Fantastic !! We started with Khachapuri, a delishious I must say " white pizza " type dish. Oozy, just amazing. Then we had Kuoati, a sausage on a bed of basic French fries and red onion. Khinkali, my favorite fried dumplings, resembling soup dumplings. And finally Chicken Tabaka, a Cornish hen cut up and dry grilled with an amazing spice. A great meal with good friends, some vodka and wine !! read more

I given 3 stars for this place only because they rude and provide very bad service. We place order only and was told that they don't have any orders from grubhub and don't know anything about. Person who great a customers was not welcoming or even looking to investigate our order. Took 15 minutes them to look at that. Then we were told our order will be completed in next 45 minutes and we have to comeback for pickup. Order was placed 30 minutes before we show up at door. After 40-45 minutes I went to pickup my order and then still was not ready. Waited other 15 minutes to get food. There no apology or any remorse, however food was tasteful and interesting. read more

I'll start by saying that the Food is great. Very authentic and well presented and they should get 5 stars for the Food, but service has a lot to be desired. This is not a quick meal. Be patient and expect to wait a long time to eat. The wait staff are nice, but there was only 1 server when we sat down. A 2nd one came on about an hour later. When we arrived, the restaurant was about 1/2 full and most people looked like they had already been served. The place has about 20 tables. From sitting down to ordering was approx 20 minutes. Ordering to appetizers, almost 1 hour and we got an app we didnt order. Apps to Entree, almost another hour, plates didn't come out together and we never got one of our entrees. My suspicion is the kitchen is responsible for the slow food - it all came out very hot, but wrong apps and missed entrees are the servers responsibility. Neither the added app or missing entree were on our bill, so that's a plus. Bottom line - good food, service is incredibly slow. read more

Best dang khachapuri I've had in a month of Sundays -- creamy, warm, and perfectly eggy

Very delicious food and good atmosphere. Definitely coming back and recommend to my friends

First off, I'm giving this 4 stars because the food was fantastic. Unfortunately, our service was really bad. One of our dishes was completely forgotten. When we reminded them they said it would be another 20 minutes because they still had to prepare it and we declined. We got no drink refills. We sat there for over 2 hours and it was only two of us. However, I am very understanding because it was very busy with a few large parties. They also gave us a free slice of cake to apologize, though I wasn't a big fan of it. If the service was good, I'd give it five stars because the food was very good. The Ajarian Khachapuri was phenomenal-cheesy, flavorful, filling, and the egg was cooked to perfection. My favorite dish there! we also got shkmeruli (a garlic chicken dish in a milky sauce.) For the price, the chicken dish was kind of small, but boy was it delicious. The sauce was amazing and had the perfect amount of garlic. The service was not good, but I will go back because the food was that excellent and they were apologetic. I think it was just a hard night for them since they were crazy busy. read more

We were greeted by an actual rat at the front door. That was a warmer welcome than we received inside. As we stepped in the angry looking woman at the bar simply said "no" before we spoke a word. We took that to mean we were unwelcome. We turned around and found much better elsewhere. Will never return. read more

This place was awesome, the food was great. The music was chill, and the atmosphere was warm. Thanks again

Some have noted how this restaurant doesn't display a letter grade sign. I noticed this as well when I went and tried in vain to get an answer as to their score before eating. That's because this restaurant is operating without a license. There's no listing for them or for any restaurant at this address in the DOH database. Dine at your own risk! read more

Came to eat with a group of gay men and we were turned away from a half empty restaurant two hours before closing. They claimed they "couldn't seat us" but it was clear that they couldn't seat people *like* us. read more

Denial of service. Felt like only locals were allowed in despite empty tables and space.

Georgian House, the fancy Georgian eatery on the block. There are two others that are more like bakeries/order to go. This is the place if you want tasteful decor, live music, dance floor, cloth napkins, etc. For vegetarians, I recommend the cheese dumplings, and the cheese breads, and the red bean stew. We had ordered the mushroom stew, but what they brought us was something else. They didn't say anything, but it turned out to be meat. Not cool! You can't just bring a different order without talking to the customers! Especially when the customers are clearly ordering the vegetarian menu items. read more

Amazing new authentic place. Great food, very good service and nice decor. Prices are very reasonable. Try the lamb in tarragon sauce, Chachapuri and of corse the shish kabab. The only minor complaint I have is about the tea. Lipton:) come on guys:) with all the amazing food you could invest in some normal tea. Otherwise solid 5stars. Also a tip: you can BYOb and buy here as well. read more

Overall, good Georgian traditional experience. We went for an early dinner for a family birthday. We got everything to share (which is recommended for this kind of cuisine). - assortment of pkhali. This was delicious and a great starter. They gave a plate of 4 different pkhalis. - Adjaruli khachapuri was amazing! Really made to perfection! - Khinkali we got with meat and with cheese. The meat ones were great! They were the perfect amount of spice! The cheese ones I honestly was not a fan of at all! I am a huge cheese lover and this was just not my thing. Would not get it again. - fried potatoes with mushroom. Would not recommend! They were served with mushrooms and some grilled veggies. I was not a fan of the dish and the taste (especially for how over priced It was) - mushroom soup was good but nothing special I think the moral of the story is to only get the very traditional Georgian items on the menu (which is the point of visiting this restaurant) read more

The pork kebab is so delicious! Food service is a bit slow, but nonetheless generally good.

The food here is excellent I've never had anything I didn't love. My first time trying Georgian food was here and I keep coming back.

Great place. If you want to have nice Georgian food and upscale dinner at Brighton beach you should go to Georgian House.

Food was amazing. Waiter was very friendly and attentive. The only issue I had is they lost their liquor license and I really was looking forward to a glass of wine. We also were not allowed to run out and purchase one really quick. read more

Loved this place. Atmosphere is nice and coZy. The band was amazing. The food just kept getting better and better. Pardon me but not sure of the names of dishes but The cheese bread, the egg bread, dumplings, kebobs, soup, everything was so good. Would highly recommend this place. read more

Wowza! Best Georgian food East of Istanbul. It's BYOB so pop over to the wine store next door and pick up a bottle of Georgian wine to pair with your amazing meal.

Following Hurricane Sandy, Brighton Beach has unfortunately lost its luster. All the best traditional Russian supermarkets closed down and the higher crime rate keeps many people away. But this place can be its revival. The decor reminds me of an old timey Soviet cabin (like the ones in the movies I watched as a kid). It's dark but spacious. The wait staff really are attentive and friendly. But what should bring you here is the food. It's truly amazing. I came with my American husband who was able to find delicious eats without the menu being any watered down Americanized version for mass appeal. For an appetizer you can't go wrong with Khachapuri, a thick doughy bread with cheese. We had the one with an egg. You break pieces off and dip them right into the middle. It's amazing and unique and I don't think you'll find anything like it. Our main courses were different types of meats, what Georgian cuisine is famous for. We had lamb chops, pork kebabs, and a mixed meat lula kebab with cheese (a type of kebab made of ground meat). I didn't really like the pork but the others were amazing: perfectly cooked and seasoned. There is also music here and while we came on a Thursday, the place was very lively, a complete difference from the quiet Brighton Beach streets outside. The music was Georgian but they played some more traditional dancing music too. I am definitely coming back here again! read more
